Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Subspace Rhapsody

There are so many bizarre and delightful and hilarious things about this episode, but I am never getting over the fact that Pike was so stressed out about telling Marie that her idea for a dirty weekend getaway didn't appeal to him that he literally falls to his knees and does the classic 90s boyband "reaching hands of raw emotions" gesture.

He can handle knowing he's going to experience SCP level body horror in under a decade and he still gets up and goes to work, but he can't tell his situationship "actually I don't want to go to Space Ibiza, can we choose something else?"

Mind boggling, I love it. Absolutely wild sense of priorities.

Am I watching this sport for the artistry? Yes.

Am I watching this sport for the dramatic, quirky, weird and heartful athletes? YES.

Oh, this seems like what I signed up for and not whatever certain parts of 3 was.

I need everybody who watched four and a half vulcans and missed the part where they said everyone was essentially going to be imbued with *spock's personal concept of how vulcans are* to calm down. Yes, there were some problems with this episode (namely, la'an's tiny amount of augment DNA turning her into a warmongering romulan...? lol what), but by and large, this is another episode on the SNW theme of "spock has childhood trauma from growing up half human". Remember, Doug (a true, full Vulcan) was helpful and kind, it's just the genetically modified humans that are weirdo jerks with massive superiority complexes. Because that's how spock feels Vulcans are. It's not a tale of biological essentialism.

So I thought the episode was wildly and presumably accidentally transphobic but yes - it’s so important to talk about how this is based in Spock’s trauma around other Vulcans.

It’s a very messy episode with good/bad/interesting elements and I do wish the criticism (justified!) was happening with a better eye to detail!

I find it so funny that having Pike wear a black undershirt with the green wrap shirt implies that, it is the proper way to wear the uniform and that Kirk is wearing it like that for slut whore reasons

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS S03E06 | The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail

I’m both happy and genuinely mad that SNW is being so smart about coming back around to all the destiny/time/mortality stuff. Like I 100% think the first season is so strong because of Pike’s haunted destiny shit. And S2 worked for me less because while it had great eps, it was all just sort of whatever about that. And now it’s back and it’s like when you have cute agression. Fuck these smart writers.

(But also god the heterosexuality is exhausting me. I would have even less patience if Melanie Scrofano wasn’t making Marie so feral and weird - and not just on the Gorn baby front. Marie is -weird- and has always been weird and it making this work even when I’m not into it)
